Whenever Billie Eilish is back in her home neighborhood of Highland Park, Lemon Tree is on a shortlist for places to work. The Highland Park complex, owned by the gregarious Erik Nilsson, has 14 recording studios (a second Arts District outpost has seven) up for long-term lease or shorter-term use, and it’s right in the middle of one of the most music-driven neighborhoods in L.A. - you can get your guitar fixed, record an album, sell your vinyl and spin it at a bar all on the same few blocks.
